•Adults aged 18 years or older who are receiving care at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and are identified as having difficult intravenous access by a vascular access clinician or emergency department clinician. Difficult intravenous access may be identified by patient-reported history of difficult cannulation, previous documentation of difficult intravenous access, poor vein visibility or palpability, two or more failed peripheral intravenous cannulation attempts, requirement for ultrasound-guided cannulation, or referral/escalation to a vascular access clinician or more experienced inserter. Participants must be able to provide informed consent and complete electronic enrolment and follow-up procedures, either independently or with assistance where appropriate
